What to expect
We offer two different swim experiences during our Wild Dolphin Cruise, a Front Swim and a Back Swim. On a typical day, all swimmers should get the opportunity to try both swims, however some days swimmers may only get the opportunity to try one. Our goal is to get all swimmers to see a dolphin underwater so please know how friendly staff will do their best to make this happen.
Front Swim Experience:
Lay down and feel as if you’re a part of the dolphin pod, our Front Swim is an experience you don’t want to miss!
Our custom made Front Swim net is secured between the bows of Temptation and allows customers to experience wild dolphins swimming within arms length, playing and socialising on the bow of Temptation.
Back Swim Experience:
Submerge yourself in the water with our Back Swim Experience, an amazing way to view wild dolphins in their natural habitat.
Our Back Swim Experience allows customers to interact with dolphins from a truly unique perspective. Jump in and hold on to our mermaid lines off the back of the vessel and enjoy amazing interactions our wild dolphins offer.
Please note there is no direct physical interaction with the dolphins such as touching or feeding.

Overall, it was a great 4 hour cruise with plenty on dolphins to see and a good opportunity to see the Adelaide coast from the water. However, if you're not so young anymore and you book the swim, don't overestimate your fitness level. You need to be able to climb a cargo net in a 5mm full wetsuit that is, of course, wet. 5mm wetsuits don't bend easily at the knees and hips. That aside, the experience of riding in the front net is something else; seeing dolphins underwater is even better. We saw lots of dolphins who, I'm sure found us hilarious entertainment. Choose your cruise carefully, the swim cruise is busy, shouty and exhausting for us older farts. My chest muscles hurt from hanging on to the front net, but I'm not complaining. I'm looking forward to trying a 90 minute peaceful cruise next time.The day was perfect, such smooth sailing, we were treated to large pods of dolphins, swimming under and close to us.

The day was perfect, such smooth sailing, we were treated to large pods of dolphins, swimming under and close to us. We three experience of at least 15 + dolphins. This amazing team of young and amazing people, starting with Kayla, on my booking the trip, who was, friendly, helpful and informative to Will, Zack and Caitlin, we couldn't speak highly enough of their smooth yet organized running of the morning. They truly are living their passion, the knowledge they have of Dolphins and care for them is beautiful. Thank you so much.
